I hear a lot about letting kids fight there own battles.  Is a confrontation between an adult (stranger) and your child her battle or yours?  If you were told that an adult had put her hand on your daughter's chest and pushed her back into a table, would you let it go, tell your daughter to just stay away from the women, or confront the adult and try to determine what had happen? 

My daughter is a small, 11 year old.  I had this situation this past weekend, and I think I did the right thing by approching the women she said assaulted her, but my husband seems to think I should have just let it go. An adult son thinks I should have gotten the police involved. 

What do you all think?  Was this her battle or is the adult/child confrontation always so uneven that a parent should get involved, at least to hear both sides?

Thanks

She said she hadn't touched my daughter but then she got very adjetated and  proceeded to tell me my daughter was lying, I was a bad mother etc. She even started going around me yelling at my daughter, who had come up behind me and I had to step inbetween them to sheild my daughter from her.   At that point I pretty well knew she had  pushed my daughter.  So I told her and her husband/boyfriend who was trying to defuse the situation to keep her away from my daughter, and I didn't care what she thought my daughter did, that she needed to stay away from my child. 

I kept an eye on the women until she left the park, and she never came near me or my daughter again.  It was crazy!  It was because she thought my daughter had butted in line in front of her little girl.
